Springy Steamed Kabocha Squash Buns

I often used baking soda in the past, but the recipe turned out bitter, so I tried using baking powder instead. When I added kabocha, I ended up with a delicious springy steamed bun.
The dough mixture will stretch a lot, but if you make it too thin, the bean paste will leak out after steaming. Keep the dough thick when wrapping the bean paste. For 20 x 4 cm sized buns. Recipe by mipon

Cooking Instructions
- 1
If making the version filled with bean paste, roll the paste into balls for later.
- 2
Mix the steamed kabocha (with or without skin) together with the dry ingredients, adding water until it doesn't look powdery anymore. When making the ogre manju style, steam the rind for longer.
- 3
Do not over-knead the mixture or it will not rise well.
- 4
Dust your hands with flour or katakuriko as you shape the dough into balls. For the bean paste version, wrap the dough around the bean paste balls. For the ogre manju style, mix in the extra chopped kabocha rind and then shape into balls.
- 5
Steam in a steamer for 10 minutes. This time, I steamed them with a wet cloth underneath. You can either cover all of them with paper towels or wrap them individually.
- 6
Once they're steamed, if you intend to serve them on super-thin strips of wood (a traditional way of presenting food), be sure to wet the wood first or they'll stick.

I make these sweet bean paste-filled steam buns every year for the PTA café at my daughter's school festival.

Steamed Sakura Buns for a Spring Aduki Filling Steamed Sakura Buns for a Spring Aduki Filling
When I bought sakura leaves in order to make sakura 'an' paste , I bought a pack that had 50 leaves, and figured I'd use them to make steamed bread . Please definitely give this light Sakura colored and flavored bread a try for the Japanese Doll Festival.There seem to be a lot of different kinds of Salted Sakura leaves. This time I used the type that can be used right away, and it isn't a good idea to just quickly wash them and them wipe them dry when making Sakura 'an' paste, and there are time that you have to let soak for a while first to get rid of the salt.I used a mixed rice package that already had the Sakura flour in it. You can skip the flowers if you don't have them. You need a very small amount of the red food coloring. If the pink is too strong, then it won't turn out so good in the end, so please be careful. If you don't have a steamer: You can still make steamed bread. For 4 aluminum cup cake molds. Recipe by Shirufi- cookpad.japan -
